Leeds vs Preston prediction – Betting tips & odds
Hot Tip – Leeds to win
- Leeds are sitting with four more wins and 21 fewer goals scored across the 27 Championship games so far this season
- The fourth-placed Whites will also be aiming to get revenge on Preston after losing at Deepdale at the back end of December
We have also decided to back Leeds because of the recent run of form shown throughout 2024. So far, the club are yet to let in a single goal so far this year and have scored three goals in all three games to equal a tally of three wins, nine scored and a clean sheet in each fixture.
At the same time, Preston have only one win since beating Leeds on Boxing Day.

For more football betting tips on this game, check out the over 2.5 goals alongside our Leeds vs Preston betting tips.
All of Leeds’ games in 2024 have seen over 2.5 goals with them beating Birmingham City, Peterborough United and Cardiff City 3-0 in each game. What’s more, the club head into this one with the fourth-most goals scored this Championship season with 48, while the Whites will be fully aware that the previous meeting with Preston ended with over 2.5 goals, as the Lilywhites won 2-1.
Preston also have a woeful defensive record of 44 goals let in from 27 league games, and the in-form players like Patrick Bamford and Crysensio Summerville could end up having a field day.
Leeds vs Preston prediction – Other tips
Leeds to win and over 2.5 goals
- As the fourth-highest scorers in the Championship this season and with players like Summerville battling for the top scorer award, this could be another high-scoring win for Leeds
- With Leeds heavy favourites at 1/4 (1.25), they also head into this one after losing with over 2.5 goals against Preston just under a month ago
Crysensio Summerville to score anytime
- The Leeds star has 12 Championship goals this season and is campaigning for the top scorer award with just a four-goal difference on Sammie Szmodics in first place
- The last scored two games ago in a 3-0 win over Birmingham and is seemingly due a goal, given his current ratio
Leeds vs Preston Lineups
Leeds
Karl Darlow is out injured, but he wouldn't start ahead of Illan Meslier anyhow. Liam Cooper, Patrick Struijk, Sam Byram and Stuart Dallas cause a big injury headache in defence.
Predicted Lineup: Meslier (GK), Firpo, Ampadu, Rodon, Gray, Kamara, Gruev, Summerville, Rutter, James, Bamford
Preston
Robbie Brady is out with a knock here and won't feature for a few games. Liam Millar and Osmajic are now back in action for Preston, however, as is Will Keane.
Predicted Lineup: Woodman (GK), Potts, Storey, Lindsay, Hughes, Whiteman, Holmes, Browne, McCann, Millar, Osmajic

Player to Watch: Crysensio Summerville
The Leeds forward has scored 12 goals in the Championship so far this season and has been the club's standout player. Summerville has also coupled this with seven more assists, meaning only Adam Armstrong of Southampton has been involved in more goals this league campaign.
